Dar, in the mean time here are the 17 year old lifters from my 1.50, from the wear pattern on them I don't think what Waco described is even remotely possible. The cam does not touch the edge of the lifter and would be even farther from edge on the phlanged lifters.

In the pic of the cam followers, the lower ones are those removed from the Saito 72 referred to in my post #22 on page 1. The two top followers are new parts shown for comparison purposes.
The pic of the OS 120 camshaft shows that on some engines the cam lobe ramp does contact the outer edge of the cam follower.
Unable to post pics for some reason

Thanks Dar. I have been this route before but forgot the details. Incidentally I made a new cam box gasket from an envelope that miked at .006" and it works fine with no leakage. In the Saito notes Bill advised that the Saito gasket was .007". Paper is close enough.
Cheers
